I'm very new to all of this but if your only choices are confined to the cultures and rules around you, do you have free will? It's more like having privileges inside lines you cannot go outside of.
I probably sound dumb.

I do not know. It was really late and I was reading all sorts of comments here and I just kind of had a "Moment."
I believe that every choice we're able to make exist in the confines of what we're allowed to do. We step out of that line, society may praise or revile us. Our choices, unless we're completely alone, are always subject to scrutiny or praise based on constructs designed by the human imagination!
While it may seem like we can choose to do anything we want to, everything we could possibly think of is already paved by what is and isn't already acceptable.
I feel like i'm treading a fine line though and I may sound like I'm saying, "We don't have free will because I can't rob walmart without getting into trouble."
I'm not... although I would get how it sounds like that. It's an interesting subject and I'm not sure I'm convince of either outcome. I thank you for entertaining my thought though.
